The lawsuit, filed Jan. 24 in Lewis and Clark County District Court, alleges that BNSF is responsible for contaminating their yards and homes with diesel fuel, lead and other toxic substances by failing to contain and control hazardous materials at the Helena fueling station.
Many of the plaintiffs live or own property within a few hundred yards of the BNSF fueling station where, the suit alleges, the company dumped thousands of gallons of hazardous contaminants onto the ground. Those contaminants then migrated onto and under the plaintiffs' property, placing their "health, welfare and property values," in "serious jeopardy," according to the suit.
